Set Adrift

Iconic model Daria Werbowry sets sail for the high seas in this free spirited editorial for the International Herald Tribune Style supplement, T magazine. The editorial shot by Cass Bird in St Bart's, features Werbowry at her best, thanks to the "less is more" styling by Sara Moonves. A sun-kissed Werbowry looks at one with nature in bikinis, tank tops and casual wear by Missoni, Erro, Liza Bruce, Opening Ceremony and Alexander Wang.

Being a keen sailing enthusiast, Werbowry looks completely in her element. In fact shortly after this shoot, Werbowry was scheduled to embark on a two month island hopping sailing trip from Guatemala to Belize, with the final port of call being in Costa Rica. Werbowry reveals to T magazine that "Sailing is the closest I can get to nature - it's adrenaline, fear, a constant challenge and learning experience, an adventure into the unknown, and of course there is nothing better than wearing the same T-shirt for days and not brushing my hair for weeks." Werbowry's passion for sailing and life, permeate the editorial and illustrate why Werbowry has always been more of a character model rather than simply another pretty face.
